You agree to provide all information requested by Living The Off-Grid Dream in connection with Your Affiliate application and/or Your continued participation as a Living The Off-Grid Dream Affiliate, and You affirm that all information that You provide is truthful, accurate, and complete (without material omission). You understand and agree that Living The Off-Grid Dream retains sole and exclusive discretion to determine whether You qualify for participation in Living The Off-Grid Dream’ Affiliate program. Not everyone who applies for Living The Off-Grid Dream’ Affiliate program will qualify to participate.
SECTION 3 - CONSENT TO BE CONTACTED
You expressly consent to be contacted at the email address and the phone number You provide in Your application about Your application and the Affiliate program, including through automated dialling systems, texts and artificial or pre-recorded messages, whether by Living The Off-Grid Dream or a third-party on behalf of Living The Off-Grid Dream. This consent is a material condition of this Agreement and may not be revoked except in writing by both Parties. You understand and agree that the foregoing method is the only reasonable method of opting out. You further agree that any other method of opting-out is not a reasonable means of opting out.
SECTION 4 - COMPENSATION
If Your application to become an Affiliate is approved by Living The Off-Grid Dream, You will receive a unique Affiliate ID. The Affiliate ID will be incorporated within each URL which You will use to advertise Living The Off-Grid Dream. You will have the opportunity to receive a commission for each sale (“Sale”) that is registered using Your Affiliate ID.
In the event that a prospect (“Prospect”) has multiple Affiliate cookies (“Cookies”), the most recently-acquired Cookie will determine which Affiliate is credited with a Sale. However, once a Sale has been associated with an Affiliate ID, that Sale cannot be attributed to another Affiliate ID for at least six (6) months from the date of the Sale. Living The Off-Grid Dream shall have the sole and exclusive authority to deny and/or revoke a commission or commissions based on affiliate-hopping or other action that creates multiple commissions for one true transaction, which shall be determined at the sole discretion of Living The Off-Grid Dream.
Provided that the Sold Account (as defined below) remains in good status within thirty (30) days from the Sale, You will be paid a commission for each Sold Account that generates a payment to Living The Off-Grid Dream in a month (“Commission”). Except as otherwise provided herein, Commission payments will be paid on the 1st of each month following Living The Off-Grid Dream’ receipt of payment for a Sold Account, subject to the other terms of this Agreement. In the event the1st of each month falls on a holiday, Commission payments will be paid on the business day preceding the holiday. All Commission payments are based on the amount of fees received by Living The Off-Grid Dream, less sales taxes.
The amount of Commissions for promoting Living The Off-Grid Dream are as follows:
Referral Affiliate: 25% Commission on SAAS*
Qualified Affiliate: 50% Commission on SAAS*
*Initial approval into the Living The Off-Grid Dream’ Affiliate Program grants you access to promote Living The Off-Grid Dream 2.0. As a Referral Affiliate, You will receive a 25% Commission on sales linked to your Affiliate ID. “Qualified Affiliate” status is only for those affiliates of Living The Off-Grid Dream who have been preselected by Living The Off-Grid Dream, have actively promoted Living The Off-Grid Dream 2.0, and opted in as a Qualified Affiliate prior to October 4, 2022. The determination of whether an affiliate has met the requirements to be a “Qualified Affiliate” is at the sole and exclusive discretion of Living The Off-Grid Dream.
All Commissions are paid in U.S. Dollars (USD) or otherwise in currencies offered by PayPal. Some payment methods may incur processing fees that may be deducted from Your Commissions. Your combined Commissions must equal or exceed One Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($100.00) (USD) before You receive a payment from Living The Off-Grid Dream. If Your combined Commissions in a 120-day period do not exceed $100.00 (USD) Your Commissions will not be paid and will be forfeited by You to Living The Off-Grid Dream without any further action being required. Commissions are paid via PayPal.
Affiliates will not be paid any Commissions for payments made on Affiliate’s own user account(s). Affiliates are not permitted to open a Living The Off-Grid Dream account under the name of another person or entity, under a fictitious name, or under any name merely for the purpose of obtaining Commissions or any other compensation. Affiliates may not pay for another person’s or entity’s account. Affiliates are not permitted to offer cash rebates or other monetary incentives to obtain Sales. Furthermore, You are not permitted to have more than one (1) Living The Off-Grid Dream Affiliate account (including all such business entities of Yours, subsidiaries, or other affiliated businesses of Yours). If You are found to have more than one (1) Living The Off-Grid Dream Affiliate account, Your accounts will be terminated and all Commissions pending payout will be immediately forfeited by You to Living The Off-Grid Dream.
Commissions are paid only for transactions that actually occur between Living The Off-Grid Dream and a Sale and in which payment is received by Living The Off-Grid Dream. If payment for a Sold Account later results in a refund or chargeback, and if a Commission was paid to You for that Sold Account payment, then the Commission will be deducted from Your future Commissions.
If Living The Off-Grid Dream determines, in its sole and exclusive discretion, that any Sale was procured fraudulently or as a result of any violation of this Agreement or applicable law, no Commission will be earned by You or paid by Living The Off-Grid Dream for such Sale and, for past sales, such payment amounts shall be deducted from Your future Commissions, and Living The Off-Grid Dream may terminate this Agreement immediately, without notice, and without Living The Off-Grid Dream having any liability to You.
SECTION 5 - TERM AND TERMINATION
The term of this Agreement will begin the earlier of (i) when You click “I accept the Terms and Conditions” and submit; or (ii) Your participation in the Affiliate program is approved. Your participation in the Living The Off-Grid Dream Affiliate program will continue month-to-month until terminated. Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other Party thirty (30) days’ written notice of termination. If, in our sole discretion, You fail, or we suspect that You have failed, to comply with any term or provision of the Agreement or the Terms of Service, or violated any law, whether in connection with Your use of Living The Off-Grid Dream or otherwise, Living The Off-Grid Dream may take any action that it deems necessary, including without limitation to terminating the Agreement or suspending Your access to the Affiliate website (“Website”) at any time without notice to You.

In such instances as described above, and in our sole discretion, we may terminate our relationship and suspend any accounts owned/controlled by You. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limitation for purposes of the foregoing, any violation of the required disclosure will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. See Appendix A, Section 2, Disclosure. In the event this Agreement is cancelled due to Your breach, You immediately forfeit all Commissions and any other payments owed to You or that may in the future be owed to You without any further liability by Living The Off-Grid Dream to You. This Agreement will terminate automatically if You earn no (zero) Commissions over a 12 month period.
